[Leica] [OM] IMG: Restoration of "Mister Douglas" Continues

[Jim Nichols]

It's a slowwwwww project.  It is being done by a small group of people 
familiar with the airplane's history, as they can raise funds.  I'd 
guess it has six months to a year yet to go.

They have raised funds for two zero-time Pratt & Whitney engines, the first of which was installed on the airplane yesterday.  The fittings and accessories from the old left engine will now be inspected, refurbished, and installed on the second engine at their shop in Florida.  The fabric control surfaces have also been re-covered and are being reinstalled.
